I studied biology and biochemistry at the University of Pisa, Italy.
In 1995, I joined the Molecular Immunology Unit at the Institut Pasteur to study TCR signalling. I investigated the role and the regulation of protein tyrosine kinases ZAP-70 and Lck.
Since 2006, I am senior member of the Lymphocyte Cell Biology Unit. My research focuses on the mechanisms regulating the dynamics of signalling protein complexes at the immune synapse and on their impact on adaptive immune responses.
